Okay, so that's all the important stuff covered!  Now to my card.  I used one of the images from the set 'Snail Mail' to make a birthday card for a friend in England.  I think this image of the little postman is perfect for that.  It's for an older gentleman, but I think this stamp works for any age.  I used retired Close to Cocoa for the base and matting, also some gorgeous new Crisp Cantaloupe for some of the matting.  All of the papers came from Kaisercraft Hopscotch pad and I added some mid brown baker's twine and some brown pearls.  That's it, a simple card, but I hope my friend likes it.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, folks,

Happy Stampin',

Happy Wonderful Wednesday from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!

So it's Wonderful Wednesday!  As always it's anything goes!  It's a good thing it is, as I was making a card and then realized it's out of stock at the moment.  Good thing I have another one made up and ready to go.  

For this little card, I used one of the little kitties from It's a Purr-fect Day.  The set also comes with the speech bubble.  I used the sentiment from You're a Purr-incess set, but there are several cute sentiments to choose from in the Purr-fect Day set.  I used Buckaroo Blue for my card base and also to frame the image layer.  Behind the image, I used a Scallop Edge die in Blush Blossom and I matted the other pieces with Blush Blossom too.  I used some pale pink and blue Prima Flowers with pearls in the centres and added some matching blue ribbon along the bottom.

I hope you will join us for the Wonderful Wednesday Challenge using whatever Kraftin' Kimmie stamp you wish.  Can't wait to see your creation.

Happy Stampin'

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! Wonderful Wednesday!!

Well, I haven't done a Wonderful Wednesday card in a while.  Life has a way of taking over and preventing us from doing the little things we want to do.

I used the cute chihuahua puppy from the Furry Surprise set, which was released in January.  I coloured him or her with my trusty Copic Markers, then used one of my deckle edged dies, which I love.  I matted that onto some Real Red to make it pop a little.  Then I sewed a straight stitch on the border of the red.  I have not sewn on my cards in a long time, I should do it more often.  I'm not sure of the name of the patterned papers as my DD Kimmie gave them to me.  Aren't the little dog and dog houses cute?  I matted both patterned papers with some turquoise, doing some more sewing on the turquoise and the card base is Marigold Morning, as is the heart with the little fire hydrant button on it.

This was a fun card to make, especially as these stamps are in honour of my little grandpuppies, Minnie and Maisie, Kimmie's sweet pups.  

Well, that's it for me, be sure to visit Kraftin' Kimmie's Shop for some amazing stamps, papers, embellies and all sorts.

Happy Stampin'

It's finally here!!! The RELEASE of our very first new stamp sets of 2016!!! And it's totally PAW-some!! wink emoticon

We've released ALL the new clear stamp sets that we've been previewing all week and we're celebrating with an amazing krafty HOP! So grab a nice hot beverage and put your feet up because you will need a few relaxing minutes to enjoy all the gorgeousness by our design team!!

We have two beautiful sets from artist, Annie Rodrigue called MINNIE, MAISIE & ME! and PURR-FECT PRINCESS!
There's a sweet new set by artist Cheryl Grant called
TALK TO THE ANIMALS!
We've got a very special set by artist Emilie Goulet called
A FURRY SURPRISE! What's extra special about this set is that Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps will be donating a portion of the sale of each of this set to a local non-profit animal rescue organization! We want to help take care of our furry friends who are in need of rescue!
Lastly we have two fun new sets from artist, Becky Pearce called A PURR-FECT DAY! and TOTALLY PAW-SOME!

I used Lulu chatting with the baby duck, along with her kitty!  This is from the Talk to the Animals set.  This was so much fun to make.  I used a yummy paper pad from Chickaniddy called Twirly Girly and some matching enamels hearts.  I didn't want a fancy layout as I love the paper I used for the background and I didn't want to cover too much of it up.  I used Pink and Light Green cardstock for the matting and the card base.  I also added some matching pink rick rack.  The sentiment, 'What's the News?' is from the same set along with several other very cute ones.

You will get to see ALL of the new sets in action as you sit back and enjoy the hop! Then head on over to the Krafty Shop because ALL of the new stamp sets are NOW AVAILABLE!

Hip, Hip, Hooray! It's Wonderful Wednesday!!

Well, Happy Wednesday to you lovely folks.  I have a card for today using Kraftin' Kimmie's Make A Wish stamp set.  I love this one, there are about 8 great sentiments, which you can use as the focal point on the front of your card or on the inside.

I made this card for my brother in England and I'm happy to say he really liked it.  I used the Hip Hip Hooray sentiment and the patterned paper is Doodlebug 'Fall Friends'.  It's just a simple card, as you can see.  The card stock is Tangerine Tango for the base and the matting on the rest is Old Espresso.  I added some turquoise twill tape behind the sentiment and a few metallic dots on the sentiment layer.  

Be sure to head on over to Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps to see some of the other fabulous stamps and other items in the shop.

Happy Stamping,
Diana

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps November Release and Blog Hop!!!

Good morning everyone!  Today is finally the day for the release of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  I have to say, I just think the artists are doing a better and better job every month.  I just adore this whole release.

I just had to make a card with sweet Lucas sitting on a pile of books and reading along with his cute little kitty, from the Happiness is Reading set.  This stamp was lots of fun to colour with my trusty Copics.  The patterned paper is Enchanted Garden Collection from Bo Bunny.  The card base and most of the matting was done with a very old retired S.U. card stock called Orchid Opulence.  It matches perfectly with the Bo Bunny papers.  I used a matching doillie behind the image layer, which was placed on some pretty green patterned paper.  I added some twine and a few matching buttons as well.  I added the sentiment "Happiness is Reading" from the set, which includes a very cute Lulu, also reading.  There are 4 more sentiments with the set, all perfect for readers.

We have three amazing sets from artist, Becky Pearce including PERFECT PLANNER, OH CROP! and ONE CUP AT A TIME! Then we shared a sweet set for the readers in your life by artist, Cheryl Grant called HAPPINESS IS READING! Then there's a fabulous TEEN set from artist Emilie Goulet called ‪#‎ALLSTAR‬! And lastly came that beautiful couple from artist, Annie Rodrigue called LET'S CELEBRATE!

You will get to see ALL of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our November Krafty Hop!
